My truck has developed a serious rattle in/near the rear window when i hit a bump. On gravel roads its dang near constant. Has anyone else had this issue.

The truck is a 2010 F150 SCREWlariat 4x4.

 

i know it sounds stupid, but check the passenger front and rear seat belts. sometimes my seatbelt clips rattle against the B and C pillars till i adjust them

 

Mine has the same rattle as well. I can almost replicate the sound (it's just not as loud) if I tap on the power slider so I'm thinking it has something to do with it. I know one thing..... it drives me insane at times!

 

I have the same rattle, if you push up on the headliner by the sliding window you will hear the noise. also the plastic piece up behind the headliner is contributing to the noise aswell.Will be taking it in this week.

 

Did you get your rattle fixed? If so what was it?

 

mine has a few noises that seem to be on the driver side front and rear. sometimes if i push up against the driver side panel it stops for a second. might just be my imagination though since i havent really tried much other than that.

 

No not fixed it is the sliding window. They could not hear it. When I take it back they can ride and I will drive they will hear it then.

 

i hate the fact that everytime you take your truck into the dealer the problem goes away,,untill you leave then it starts all over again,,,,,,,,

 

I have some rattles in my truck as well... but it's a truck... I am starting to learn to ignore them, lol.

 

I finally dropped the truck off at the dealer. He sent some guys out in the truck and told them not to come back until they'd heard the noise. They heard it...but can't pinpoint it. He is doing some other warranty work on the truck and those parts won't be in til next week so he'll deal with the rear window at that time.

He said it could be a few things, maybe a seal, a broken bolt, or maybe the whole glass needs to be replaced. Said he won't know which it is until he has the glass company come in and look at it.

Overall I'm very happy with their response. He said he'd have it taken care of one way or another. I was surprised...I really expected a boat load of BS from the dealer and all I got was high quality service. Much better experience this time than the last time I used this dealer. It's been a few years and there is a new service manager.

 

my slider makes a rattle when its cold as *****

 

Mine does it all temps. It's strange...sometimes it won't do it at all...other times you'd swear the rear window was about to rattle right out of the truck. Sometimes just turning a corner or changing lanes will cause it to start making noise...almost like the truck flexes just enough to make it shift.

 

So not only does your friend have basically the same truck, gets better gas mileage, and doesn't rattle? See if he'll trade you? J/k man, I have nothing insightful to add here but had to rib ya just a little...

 

HA! I should switch keys and parking spaces with him one day when he's not looking. I bet it would be 3 months before he figured it out. He'd probably wonder why he never saw the moonroof before.

I do want his rims though...he's got 18 in wheels. My 20's don't ride near as nice...but 20's were all they had left on the lot when I went.

 

I had this rattle. Had to drive the mechanic around with him in the bed of the truck to trouble shoot !

I also had the 'we can't replicate the squeek' the first time i took it in. Ends up it was raining that day, and the rain 'lubed' the window so the squeek didn' occur. came back a few days later after the seal dried out.

In my situation, it was the rear window (manual slider) that was loose and squeeking when the body twisted over bumps. window removed, seal lubicated, window installed and fasteners torqued. no issues since then.
